Sponsored by Dollar Store brand toilet paper. The #19 brand for messy #2s.
@Cy$ asks: What isnt the point?
GTO: the rounded, blunt edge of an object. Unless you meant to say what isn’t on point. Then that would be your questions.
Pants: The point isn’t to is or to isn’t, it’s to be.
GTO: is that Shakespeare?
Pants: I think it’s LFO.
GTO: the Lyte Funky Ones? Are these lyrics from one of their b-sides?
Pants: Listen to “Summer Girls” and try to tell me it’s not the greatest thing ever.
GTO: I should have clarified. B-sides as in backsides. In all seriousness, “Summer Girls” causes cancer. Look up what happened to their band members. Weird.
@Cy$ again: What happened to @55dB?
Pants: So we dated for about 10 months. When we split up, she kind of hated me so much that she didn’t want to have anything to do with anything associated with me, so she sort of left CF. We’re pretty good now, though. We’re friends on Facebook again and occasionally text each other as well. She doesn’t send me risqué pics anymore, so that’s kind of sad, but I guess understandable. Wish she’d come back though, she was a good addition to this hell site.
GTO: Did we ever find out if her name stood for 55 decibels or 55 douchebags? I agree that she was a bright spot on this site of negative posters, trolls, manly bickering about uniforms, couch coaches, and wannabe comedians. One thing we can’t afford is losing the few women we have on this site to keep us guys in line.
@BCClone asks: Regular toilet paper or these wet wipe things? It's been discussed that its not advised to flush those wet wipes (even though they say you can), that they will clog up your drain pipes over time. So what do people do with them? Throw them in their garbage? This seems to be one of the grossest things ever thought of.
Besides, I would think you would need to use regular toilet paper afterwards or you will basically give yourself the beginnings of swamp a$$
GTO: I try to do my number 2s at home most of the time (probably 95% of the time) and just take a shower afterwards, so no wet wipes used. If not at home, then just use a ton of toilet paper. I would think if you’re using wet wipes, you should go wet first then dry.
Pants: I don’t use wet wipes, but I think you’re supposed to use toilet paper first to take care of the mess and then use a wet wipe to clean up what’s left? So if you throw it in the garbage, there really shouldn’t be much left on it? But either way, this wouldn’t be a question if America would just get with the 21st century and make bidets a normal thing like they should be.
GTO: Bidets? Are those like a golf ball wash for your balls? And I also want to add that swampass is a true national medical emergency, uinlike coronavirus. We need scientists to create a male pad that men can wear inside their underwear. Or maybe some sort of male tampon.
@jcyclonee who apparently has never watched the horror movie The Ruins: So I'm looking for stuff to do on our upcoming trip to Mexico. I see that there are Mayan ruins just north of our resort. The reviews basically say that this is how you get there.
Climb over the jagged rocks at the north end of the resort's beach, walk along the sargassum-filled inlet into the secluded private development of recently built mansions, and you'll find the well-preserved ruins.Does this seem like a good thing to do with my kids?
Pants: Oh man, I’ve read the book and seen the movie! The movie wasn’t bad, but the book was a really good book. Per the usual, the movie didn’t really do it justice. Long story short, I think you’ll be fine, just don’t touch the vines.
GTO: there’s a movie about @jcyclonee’s Mexico ruins trip? Probably some sort of found footage. To answer the question, I would not be that worried about the jagged rocks. I would be more concerned about the orgasm-filled inlet. Oh, wait… sargassum??? I don’t even know what that is, but I know I wouldn’t touch it. And I’m not being sargasstic.
@Angie getting infected with the long question bug: I was just on a webinar with our gigantic, worldwide software vendor, and they were displaying a fake test account with the name "Chesty Larue." (I know it's a Simpsons reference, but still about boobs.) At my old job, an associate of mine had snuck "Michael (Mike) Hunt" into sales demos for at least four years.
What is the most inappropriate name (fictitious or real) you have ever seen used, or used yourself, in a work environment?
GTO: my brother in law worked with an older guy named Richard Siemens for years. Dude insisted on going by D*ck Siemens. I guess you just own it at some point.
Pants: Mike Litoris is so much better than Mike Hunt. More clever, more funny, and less offensive because of the whole C word thing. I hear it’s hard for most men to understand, though.
@Doc asks: How much do you guys sleep?
Pants: Not much. I have insomnia pretty bad. But it’s not staying up all night, it’s waking up all night. So I’ll go to bed around 1:30, wake up at 2:15, fall back asleep at 3:30, wake up at 5 to feed the dog and give him his insulin, go back to sleep at 6, wake up again at 7, fall asleep at 8:15 and then finally get up to start the day at 9.
GTO: most nights I would say somewhere around 5-7 hours. Weekends are a bit better with 8-9 hours. I’m a bit of a night owl and would love it if I never had to sleep. Imagine how much we could get done!
Pants: Is still probably just end up scrolling Twitter most of the time. My new phone gives me automatic updates of how I spend my screen time and it’s less than encouraging.
